The general coordinator of the ruling Liberty and Refoundation Party (Libre), Manuel Zelaya, called on the party’s members this Saturday to mobilize next Monday in support of the mayor of Tegucigalpa, Jorge Aldana, who believes he is being defrauded in his re-election bid.

“If the people do not mobilize because it is Christmas, the members of the Libre party, out of conscience, must mobilize this Monday to INFOP (National Institute of Professional Training) at 4 pm (22:00 GMT) to support Aldana in peaceful, non-violent, and democratic resistance, as they are already applying the Trump Algorithm 2025-Wins Honduras-style elections,” Zelaya stated on the social network X.
Aldana, who considers himself the winner of the capital’s mayoral race after the general elections of last November 30, has been under a tent for 19 days on one side of the outskirts of INFOP, where all the election material is guarded by soldiers and police. The National Electoral Council (CNE) has already declared Nasry Asfura, of the conservative National Party, president-elect.
Las dilatorias del bipartidismo en el CNE son evidentes y continúa la trama del fraude de los 26 audios para desconocer el triunfo irrefutable de Jorge Aldana, quien monta guardia con sus actas en mano, exigiendo voto x voto. Las más de 9000 actas impugnadas a nivel nacional,…

According to Aldana, who is seeking re-election under the banner of Libre, the records he has in his possession guarantee his victory, but the mayoral candidate of the National Party, Juan Diego Zelaya, would be surpassing him by 600 votes.

Since November 30, the CNE (National Electoral Council) has, by law, until December 30 to announce all the results of the general elections in Honduras, which have been perhaps the most difficult in the country’s political history.
Hondurans went to the polls to elect a president, three presidential appointees (vice presidents), 298 mayoralties, 128 deputies for the local Parliament, and 20 for the Central American Parliament.
The deputies of the Central American Parliament have already been elected, according to the CNE’s declaration last Wednesday, in which it announced that the president-elect of Honduras is Nasry Asfura, who will assume power on January 27, 2026, replacing Xiomara Castro, wife of Manuel Zelaya.
